If I install win98 as a second system I understand that I
have to reinstall XP. Will I lose all the updates that I
have had installed on my original Windows XP\\\\\
Thanks-----Phil

Just copy boot.ini, ntldr and ntdetect from your
XP CD's i386 folder.
then you dont hv to reinstall XP.
but the correct way is to install the latest OS later.
